Improvement in egg-beaters

GEORGE Pr SISSON, OF NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALFHIS RIGHT TO OSMORE O. ROBERTS, 0F SAME PLAGE.

IMPROVEMENT IN EGG-BAEATERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,278, dated January16, 1877 application filed December 11, 1876.

To all whom it maygconcem:

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. SrssoN, of Northampton, in the county ofHampshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and valuableImprovement in Egg-Beaters; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description of the construction andoperation' of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specificatiomand to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of my invention, showingthe operating mechanism. Fig. 2 is an end view.4 Fig. 3 is aside view ofthe same. 4

This invention has relation to egg-beaters `and consists in impartingto` the oats or n beaters a reciprocating rotary motion bythe employmentof a mechanism consisting of a pivoted frame connected to the oats orbeaters by suitable gearing, said frame being vibrated by an eccentricworking within a slotted frame, as will be hereinafter described, andsubsequently pointed out in the claims. In the accompanying drawings, AB represent. two floats or beaters hung upon a frame, C, in such amannerthat both may have a reciprocating rotary motion-one partiallywithin the other-the movement of each being in opposite directions 5but, if desired, however, they may be hung upon the same center, andhave their motion one directly within the other, without departing fromthe principle of my invention. y

To the upper ends of the frame, and to the ends of the beaters, arerigidly secured pinions a, which have their bearings in a crosspiece, b,of a shaft, D, each of which pinions mesh with teeth d formed upon thesides of a vibratory frame, E, pivoted to the shaft D.- Within the frameE works an eccentric, F,

which also has its bearings in the shaft, and carries a pinion, c, thesame meshing with the teeth upon a large driving-gear wheel, G, saidwheel being operated by a suitable crankhandle, c.

A haudle,f, is formed upon the upper end of the shaft to facilitate thebeater, being held stationary while operated within the receptaclecontaining the duid.

From the above description it may be seen that by the simple rotation ofthe drivingwheel G a similar motion is given to the eccentric F, which,in turn, vibrates the frame E, and imparts a reciprocating rotary motionto the floats or beaters `A B. Thus the fluid being acted upon is cutand thoroughly beaten almost instantaneously, as it cannot partake ofthe motion of the oats.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

.1. An egg-beater, the beaters or floats of which are hung substantiallyas described, and having imparted to them a reciprocating motion inopposite directions by .a slotted frame suitably connected to saidbeaters or iioats, and vibrated by the rotation of an eccentric,substantially as setforth.

2. The combinatiomwith the floats or beaters A B, hung upon the frame O,and carrying pinions a, of the vibrating frame E, with teeth @eccentricF, pinion c, and driving-wheel G, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE P. SISSON.
